Hi there,
I use to compile my project from FPC win32 to win64, i386-linux and x86_64-linux. Everything work in CT5.5. When I turned lately to CT5.9 I found that all is compiled fine except i386-linux. It state following error during linking:

C:\codetyphon\fpc\fpc32\units\i386-linux\rtl\si_c21.o: In function `SI_C21_$$__FPC_LIBC21_START':

Fatal: (1018) Compilation aborted
Error: C:\codetyphon\fpc\fpc32\bin\i386-win32\ppc386.exe returned an error exitcode

I tried to recompile the CrossBuild chain but it doesn't help. I also created test project and try to compile directly to i386-linux with the same error.

Can anybody help? Thanks.

Thank Sir
I think, we fix that in Lab CT 6.00

Hi Stefanos,
thanks for the reply and your work. Looking foreward to CT6.00.

Sir
we test now win32 to i386-linux and the problem exists (Lab CT 6.00)

I think the problem is at i386-linux OS Libraries
We working on it....

Hi Stefanos,
the error still remain also in the final CT6.00.

I wanted to use fpc64 and Typhon64 with cross-compiler to win64-i386-linux for my task. But unfortunately I was not able to build cross-compiler. Compilation finished with following error:

Is there a chance to compile i386-linux executable from windows?

Thanks in advance

Hi Stefanos,
I investigated a little bit and as you wrote there is a problem with OS libraries. As x86_64-linux works well I saw that they used dynamic linking of libc. So I used the same trick as for x86_64 platform. I added libc.so which contains the code (ASCI) for linking, provided libc.so (from CT) I renamed to libc.so.6 and libc_nonshared.a for i386 platform. And then the compilation works.
All 3 files are in attachment and need to be added to binLibreries. So only those need to be updated.
With best regards
Premek

Thank Sir
fixed OS libraries are in our Server Now
